I'm on a bead kick. I can't help myself...I'm buyin', I'm makin', I'm storin'. Problem is, I need to use these beads for something pretty. If you look at the pic you will see that I like the natural look. There are natural stone beads, handmade ceramic beads, Czech glass beads, and wood beads that were handmade by me. Most are natural looking, but I like to throw in some brighter colors just for fun. The leather? Well it is perfect for stringing all of these beads together.

Storage...it's turning into an issue. The best way to store these little suckers is on jewelry that I make, right? I'm just not keeping up with that, so this pic shows one of my drawers of miscellaneous beads. You can also see my fancy zipper bag system. Ha!

O.K., it's a start. I have a few things made and many more ideas floating around in my head. But...tomorrow's another day, right? I'll string some beads then.
